Located in the Southlake business park in Lenexa, KS, the existing building structure will be redeveloped into a Tier III datacenter with a target occupancy date of Q3-2018. The facility will go live with six fiber providers and includes 24x7x365 onsite support, secure and diverse network entry points, A/B redundant power configuration and diverse utility power feeds.
